What is Conform Object?

Conform Object is a Blender add-on for any 3D modeler that needs to project objects onto another object’s surface in one action.

The add-on handles the complexity of doing this for you in a non-destructive way.

Features:

• Simple right-click menu option performs the operation in one go.

• Graduate the effect from the bottom to the top of the object.

• Choose from Grid Mode or Shrinkwrap Mode.

• Transfer surface normals to blend object shading.

• Use a deformation lattice to stretch an object around the surface of another.

• Underlying mesh is not affected.

• Undo and apply options handle the underlying complexity of adding and removing modifers.

• Conform multiple objects at once.

• Display Vertex Weights in Object Mode to help with the Gradient Effect.

• Presets system to save your preferred settings.

Using the advanced Lattice Deformation feature to wrap an object around another.

Here the Gradient Effect is used to affect the lower parts of the object, and leave the upper part unaffected.

Warning

Conform Object assumes some knowledge of how an object’s location and orientation works in Blender and will only be as good as an object’s mesh topology. Some more advanced features may take some time to master. Do Contact Us if you are having issues.
